YouTuber PewDiePie stated that OpenAI banned his account twice while he was training an artificial intelligence model called Ajax. Decrypt reported that Ajax is a small, uncensored model designed to run on a personal computer and browse the web for the user. PewDiePie revealed the story in a new video published on his YouTube channel. [1]
According to Decrypt, Ajax is what PewDiePie calls a fine-tuned artificial intelligence model. This means that an existing model received extra training to perform one specific job. Decrypt reported that the model is built to operate inside Odysseus, which is a free and self-hosted artificial intelligence application that PewDiePie launched in June. [1]
Decrypt reported that running a model on a personal machine keeps personal items, such as emails and calendars, at home instead of storing them on corporate servers. The application does not carry a subscription fee, although the user's own computer hardware performs the heavy lifting required by the system. [1]
PewDiePie explained in his video that the uncensored model works directly on user computers rather than relying on central servers. Decrypt noted that the model is designed to browse the internet on behalf of the user while running locally. [1]
